The firm says it has helped drivers, especially commercial vehicle drivers, save tens of billions RMB in fuel and electricity and has run over a thousand public‑welfare events. 能链 is described in the article as a global new‑energy top‑500 company and a unicorn that has completed multiple financing rounds. Its reported shareholders include institutional investors such as 招商局资本, 中金资本, 贝恩资本, 小�米集团, 蔚来资本 and others. Newlink Group is a fast-growing online technology platform that helps match drivers in China with gas stations and EV charging piles through its two apps, Tuanyou and Kuaidian. The company offers a suite of SaaS, payment and IoT solutions to help gas station and EV charging station owners drive incremental sales, reduce procurement costs, manage operations and grow profits. Newlink leverages a network of 23,000 gas stations (about 20% of China’s total) and 700,000 charging piles (about 90% of China’s total) across 1,700 cities and towns and targets to serve 400 million drivers. The company plans to digitize partner stations’ operations and convert some independent stations into Newlink-branded “Energy Service Hubs” that combine gas, EV charging, auto maintenance and convenience stores. Newlink is focused on expanding its EV charging network and investing in R&D and product adoption to support broader electrification. The company was founded in 2016 and is described in the announcement as the undisputed leader in China’s energy technology sector.
